If Music Waste welcomes the start of summer in Vancouver, then the Victory Square Block Party is the ultimate way to say good-bye. This Sunday Victory Square will play host to the last block party of the summer!
Update: The flagship Vancouver store is opening mid October and will be 2 floors, 14000 sq ft!
For the Vancouverites who love fashion and are on a tight budget soon you will be able to shop for Joe fresh gear without having to go to The Real Canadian Store. That's right, they are opening their first stand alone flagship store in downtown Vancouver, across Holt Renfrew.

Yesterday Translink announced that it is looking at 3 options to deal with the aging Pattullo bridge. If you use that bridge daily you know that it is long overdue for upgrades or replacement. One of those options presented (and preferred by Tranlink) is a brand new 6 lane bridge. It is the most expensive option (pegged at $800 million) and of course it will have be tolled. So once again people in the suburbs are paying a price for their big back yards. Tolls are the new reality, so get used it I suppose.
This weeks hump day hottie is Kelly Brook. She is a British model, actress, occasional swimwear designer, television presenter and former Playboy girl. Many thanks to @Kevvur for telling me about this British bombshell. Enjoy!
The "cool" parents will want to take there kids to the live version of what is one of the more bearable kids shows, Yo Gabba Gabba! The live show is at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on September 11 and 12 and we got a 4 pack of tickets for one lucky readers for the Sunday 1pm show.
It’s the ultimate end-of-summer dream to have your backyard BBQ, party, badminton tournament, or weekend getaway 100% sponsored by a brewery. Well dream no more because Okanagan Spring Brewery can make it happen! All you need to do is bring the babes!
The City of Vancouver has joined the growing list of cities in North America and worldwide that have decided to ban smoking in parks and beaches. That's 224 places in total to be exact. This ban makes sense I suppose, especially where kids are playing around and what not. However, I question how enforceability of this ban, just like driving while talking on your cell phone, and enforcing cyclists to wear helmet, I believe it will be difficult. Further, the ban does not apply to pot, but that's illegal anyways, right? Vancouver's ban takes effect today, September 1, 2010.
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of a major project. Vancouver Film School, which has established itself as one of the best schools in the world to study film, animation and much more is giving you a sneak peek. The current project is a school-wide undertaking, involving almost every faculty at VFS, film, games, animation, design, makeup, writing, acting, etc. They took the work of HP Lovecraft from the public domain and created 5 individual interactive films that involve a massive amount of special effects and makeup work.
All proceeds from the sales of our digital publications go directly to the WikiMedia foundation, which is a worthy cause as it supports public domain content.
Still don't like the sound of "Rogers Arena" and the red colour just adds to my dismay. Oh well on the bright side my cell phone reception during the games should be much better.
This Labour Day long weekend (September 4 to 6) also plays host to the 2010 Vancouver Telus TaiwanFest a celebration of all things Taiwanese. Granville Street will be packed as it is the focal point of the festival. I'm glad Vancouver is such a diverse city and we get to explore so many cultures without leaving the comfort of our fair city.
